Space Apps Challenge 2017

There is a need for developing technologies which can self heal for crafts that can be used for deep space exploration. Current error detections include basically checking for parity bits or predictive coding to check for errors.

However what we are proposing, bypasses that and gives a more accurate and instant result via using digital image processing over such circuit boards. This would also involve changing some basic elements of circuits. However it would be effective in the long run.

We also will to create micropedes* using microbots* (patented inventions of our own) to deliver required ICs to required destinations on a circuit with minimal cost.

Hence to completely develop this idea we need more funding and resources which we believe NASA would be more than able to provide for us.

Hopefully, we would be able to fully develop it and change a huge part of space travel.

Most of the idea is theoretical but in order to develop it, we would require

1) Digital image processing

2) Phosphoflourescent materials

3) microbots*

4) micropedes*

Said microbots and micropedes would walk using a few magnetic legs, a few magnets and a circuit which would not only stop the bot after walking a particular distance proportional to current given but would also either remove the legs in one type of microbot or attach the legs of second type of microbot onto circuit board. Both cases would be made functional by using a low melting point metal or substance.
